Hi there
I have an array of 28 parrell wires rates at 40w each ( Edison bulbs ) powered by 240vac supply . Connected to a 1000w rates wall dimmer ( pot / switch ) . Now the total power of all the bulbs is 1160w . How can I limit the max wattage the bulbs can pull from the source to 1000w or is the pot already going to limit the circuit to 1000w . I understand the bulbs will be dimmer because of this .
